Thanks for the great shots Chris.

I noticed your Bayside Blue GTR only ran the first courses then was noticeably missing. Looks like either camber wear or the tyres chunked out cause there's lots of tread on them otherwise. Bugger! Well, come out for the next Texi and give it a go again. Your car looked really good out there.

I dont think the BMW had enough body roll :P If my 33 is a boat then that surely was a cruise ship :P but was good to see the variety. It had some serious tires on it to.

Make a note next texi there will be a matte black 32 gtst with a purple cage ripping skids ;) CANT WAIT!

Thanks for great photos Chris, got some really nice photos of my car on there! :worship:

As with all Texi's, i'm not pictured. ;op

only 1 set posted so far, I'm sure some others would have got ya. how about the video i took on your camera?

a big thanks to everyone who organised this event and helped out, had a great day as usual.

now to sort out my power steering issues!!!

Also keep an eye out for pic's at https://www.facebook.com/ScottSterlingPhotography

enjoy :)

I'm going to upload all the vids today!

I just get sadface when there aren't any full-res pics of my car... but as you say, "yet".

Steve, in about an hour my first video will be up and you'll be happy I think.

Will post the link as soon as vimeo does it's thing. Love'n this new camera!

Geoff drew my attention to the slo-mo vid. 24 seconds in, thanks! =-D

yet?

what car were you driving?

#36, and you're probably right... just not "yet".

Part of me wants me to bring my camera and tripod and do photos all day, but the more selfish part of me wants to do skids all day and not worry about my equipment. ;o)

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
